IU Professor Elinor Ostrom's receipt of the 2009 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in
Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel brought a great deal of excitement
to the Bloomington campus. In December, Professor Ostrom travelled to
Stockholm, Sweden to accept the award. There, she and the other Nobel Prize
recipients delivered lectures as part of the week of activities leading up to
the Nobel ceremony.
On Tuesday, February 16, Professor Ostrom will present her Nobel Prize lecture
at the Indiana University Auditorium at 4 p.m. I invite you to attend.
The lecture, which is open to the public, will be much the same as the informal
lecture Professor Ostrom delivered in Stockholm. In it, she will give an
overview of the research she has done during her extraordinary career.
The lecture is an opportunity for members of the campus community to learn
more about her work and to celebrate her accomplishment.
I hope to see you there.
Sincerely,
Karen Hanson
Provost and Executive Vice President
